I Will Wait

Chapter 24 – Gifts

---

Arriving at the gardens Yugi and Ryou ran off to the pond where they sat down on the ground. Atemu and Bakura walked slowly over to them and sat down under the tree that was by the pond. Yugi and Ryou whispered to each other while watching the two under the tree.

“I’m not sure but I think they are planning something.” Atemu said as he watched the two whispered to each other.

“I wouldn’t be surprised. Before I was captured by your father, Ryou would always do those sorts of things when I looked after him.” Bakura said with his eyes closed and arms crossed across his chest.

Yugi and Ryou stood up and walked over to the two under the tree and knelt at their feet. Atemu looked between the two and saw a blush plastered on their faces. Atemu frowned and elbowed Bakura in the rib.

“What?” he said opening his eyes and saw the two younger’s with blushes on their faces. “Why are you two blushing?”

“Um...” Yugi put his hand in his pocket and with drew three wrapped up bundles.

He pulled opened the crimson fabric and on it laid a crimson and amethyst stone ring. He blushed and Bakura leaned forward and whispered in his ear. Yugi nodded and his blushed deepened with embarrassment.

“Atemu would you marry me?” Yugi would have blushed even more if it were possible.

“I will Yugi.”

Yugi smiled and slid the ring on his finger. Yugi leaned over and kissed Atemu on the lips and slipped his tongue in past Atemu’s already open mouth. Yugi caressed Atemu’s tongue with his before pulling back. Yugi moved to Bakura and pulled out a grey cloth and showed a grey and amethyst ring. Yugi repeated the same phrase he did with Atemu and got the same answer and he placed the ring on his finger. Yugi leaned forward and placed his lips on Bakura’s and went inside his mouth.

Yugi pulled back and turned to Ryou who was sitting there. Yugi pulled out the brown cloth and revealed a brown and amethyst stone ring. Yugi repeated the phrase to Ryou and he answered the same and Yugi placed the ring on his finger. Yugi leaned forward and pressed his lips against Ryou’s and licked his bottom lips and Ryou opened up. Yugi went in and played with Ryou’s tongue.

Atemu and Bakura were getting hard watching them both kiss. They groaned internally when the two pulled apart. Ryou turned to Bakura and pulled out his and the routine started again.

When it had finished they all sat together under the tree. Ryou and Yugi were napping on their lovers and Atemu and Bakura were talking quietly with each other.

“So who is this Roman king?”

“His names King Aldwyn. He’s an old friend of my father and now that I’m Pharaoh he has to come back to see if he still wants to have trade relations with Egypt. If not it could cause war between our two peoples. Personally I don’t like him very much but we shall see. I personally don’t want to go to war so it depends on what relationship we want with his people.” Atemu explained.

“So even if you don’t like him you’ll still have trade relations with him.”

“Yes they are more powerful than us if you don’t count shadow magic. But if we do that we are even.”

“How does that work?”

“They have many other devises that throw things from a distance. So they can fight faraway and close up. Which is why I don’t want to have war with him. I’m not afraid of him if that’s what you’re thinking, I just don’t want to lose any of my people.”

“I understand Atemu. Well not really but I get the idea. I wasn’t thinking like that when I went to war with you.” Atemu nodded. “But I have an idea of what you’re going on about now. I wouldn’t have if I was still against you.”

Atemu nodded and leaned against Bakura. Bakura moved a little and wrapped his arm around Atemu’s shoulder.

They arrived back at Atemu’s chamber after dark and found the first set of clothing done and neatly folded on the bet. Walking over they inspected the clothing. Atemu found a note on the top of his formal wear for when the Roman king came.

My Pharaoh Atemu

I was wondering if you wanted Bakura to have a different set of clothing for when the Roman King arrived. I have a design for it and it will be the same colour as the clothes he has now. If you wish you or Bakura can come and have a looked at it to see what you think. I heard that the council were not impressed with the clothes he wears now and took the liberty of designing one.

Mai.

Atemu thought it over and decided to have it made up.

“Bakura...” Bakura looked over at him. “I would like you to come with me and have a look at something Mai designed for you when the King Aldwyn comes.” Bakura thought about it then nodded. “If you are worried about it looked something like my councils you don’t have to worry she tries to keep others clothing different to theirs.”

“No I’m not. I just don’t like having something wrapped across my chest.”

“You have a robe thing across your chest.” Yugi countered.

“That still has the front open. Meaning I don’t feel tied up.”

“Oh ok.” Yugi replied still didn’t understand.

Atemu saw and walked over to him. “Yugi looked at your clothes and then at Bakura’s.”

Yugi looked down and saw that he couldn’t see his chest and it meant that he was constricted. He looked at Bakura and saw that you could see his chest and that he was wasn’t constricted.

“There’s a reason he wears clothes like that Yugi. Living like he did for most of his life he just feels comfortable in it. It’s so that if someone grabs hold of the back of his clothing he can easily keep running and just removed it off his arms easier than yours. You wouldn’t be able to with what you wear.” Atemu explained.

“Oh I get it now.” Yugi said nodding.

Bakura smirked and walked out of the room and sat on the balcony. Ryou walked over and sat down next to him.

“You ok Bakura?”

“Yeah just thinking back at how much life has changed over the past 6years.”

“It has changed a lot hasn’t it?”

“Yeah. Who thought... I would ever agree to marry the Pharaoh.”

Ryou started laughing very hard and was leaning on the balcony rail to stay up right. Atemu and Yugi came out and looked from Bakura to Ryou and back again.

“What’s wrong with him?” Yugi asked.

“He just thought what I said was funny.”

“Which was?”

Bakura sighed. “I said. Who though... I would ever agree to marry the Pharaoh.”

Yugi started giggling and Atemu smirked. “Yeah it’s a bit strange isn’t it? Who would have ever thought that Bakura would ask Yugi or I to marry him. I remember 4years ago when Yugi was first brought here you scared him to the point where he wouldn’t talk till my father would whip him. Or because of how you use to treat me. Calling me names and trying to annoy me so much.”

Bakura remembered back and had a guilty look on his face when he looked at Yugi. He held out his hand to Yugi and when he took it he pulled him forward. He kissed him gently on the lips.

“I’m sorry about that Yugi.”

“I know. I actually forgot about that. Don’t worry about that. It’s in the past.” Yugi said and kissed him back.

Atemu smirked and turned to look at the black sky and turned to Ryou who was breathing heavily. He smirked again and held him close to him.

“Come on time for bed.”

Atemu walked back in and took Ryou with him. He laid him down on the bed and went to his table and started removing his jewellery. He placed the puzzle down in the draw to keep it safe from view. Bakura placed the ring in there as well and removed the rest of his jewellery. He had placed Yugi down on the bed and he and Ryou were talking quietly.

“Did you see what we did to them today when we kissed?” Yugi asked.

“Yeah, they got aroused.” Ryou said.

“I have an idea.” Ryou raised an eyebrow. “Want to do it again?”

Ryou nodded and looking out the corner for when they would turn back and when they did. Yugi kissed Ryou passionately. Bakura and Atemu looked at them and were finding it arousing. Yugi slipped his tongue in Ryou’s mouth. He was suddenly torn away by Atemu and kissed passionately. The same happened to Ryou by Bakura. When they broke away Yugi and Ryou were panting hard.

“You do know what you do to us when you two are kissing don’t you?” Bakura asked.

Yugi and Ryou nodded with a giggle.

“You did that on purpose.” Atemu said surprised.

Yugi and Ryou looked at each other and nodded. “Yeah, we saw earlier on today.” Yugi said.

“Do you want to now or wait till later.” Bakura asked.
